Hey @netflix.com I’ve had an account with you since you mailed out DVDs. I cancelled it, and this is why. I won’t be back.

As a Canadian-American, I call DITTO! Also, I think I may love @charlieangus104.Bsky.social - well, he certainly is one Canadian to watch!

And it was obvious, 48 years later, that not enough people watched it.

1/ Nice tidbit in a supplemental filing from Nauta & De Oliveria, confirming they realize Judge Cannon lacks jurisdiction to bar release of Special Counsel's report. Of course, she never had jurisdiction over the J6 case & can't bar that part, but she dismissed the MAL case & can't act further on it

Stay focused on protecting norms and institutions and not on the “gulf of America.”

Republicans thought they were voting for cheaper eggs and what they’re going to get is war with Denmark and Panama.

On Christmas Eve when Trump talked about taking over Greenland, the Panama Canal & even Canada, I took him seriously & wrote about it. He was back at it today. joycevance.substack.com/p/christmas-...

Which means each and every one of us has the complete power to effectively diminish their influence, power and economics.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at The Washington Post, says her cartoon below was killed by Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner. Bezos didn’t want the cartoon to become public because it shows him kneeling before Donald Trump. You know what to do.

Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post, resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Trump and the billionaires supporting him from being published. ❤️ if you stand with Ann!

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year. So, well played, Washington Post.

Ann Telnaes Quits After Bezos' Washington Post Kills Satirical Cartoon #FollowFriday: Ann Telnaes @anntelnaes.bsky.social

Washington Post cartoonist resigns over paper’s refusal to publish cartoon critical of Jeff Bezos

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

So, the @Washington post tried to stop the world from seeing a political cartoon critical of its owner, and as a result, they’ve lost tons of subscribers, the incredible cartoonist who drew it quit, and it’s created such an uproar, that WAY more people saw it than otherwise would have. Brilliant.

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word: If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

Mike Johnson claimed yesterday that he was reading a prayer written by Thomas Jefferson. Except it wasn't. Historians who are familiar with it say it’s not accurate to attribute it to Jefferson or to suggest he recited it daily. Clown. Show.

It sucks our politics are not "how can we help our constituents" and instead are "how can I hurt the other side most?" It's ALL obstructionist. They are playing war games with our money and our lives and we're supposed to just sit in the stands and cheer for our "team" like we aren't cannon fodder.

Let's talk about Elon's newest "theory," that c-sections lead to greater brain development. First, there is absolutely no evidence of this. In fact some studies show the opposite: higher rates of brain cell death in c-sections than vaginal birth. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

UNFUN FACT: The is the first incoming Congress to have fewer woman than the one before it.

This 2019 story feels relevant today. Did it end with the 737 Max—or was it policy? Cutting costs to near-minimum wage shouldn’t be priority over lives & safety. 📌 Boeing outsourced 737 Max software coding to $9/hour engineers, laying off in-house talent & subcontracting offshore to save money

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

Understanding conspiracy theories: 1. There’s a kernel of truth 2. Someone gains influence or power by promoting it 3. Believers dislike the group it targets 4. There’s a strong negative emotional hook. 5. Scientific evidence is dismissed as an effort to hide the “truth” #StormTipOfTheDay

Hard to believe, but here we are.

Tell him, Mark!

That YMCA is actually a song by gay men about having gay sex at the Y makes this post hilarious.

Isn’t it interesting that Trump’s DoJ told local Florida authorities not to investigate Gaetz because of the ongoing federal probe, then did nothing until the statute of limitations expired? Exactly what they tried to do in the Stormy Daniels case in NY. 🤔

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

Irony would like a word.

This, right here, is the final stand. Republican schemes for changing American elections have nothing to do with election security, voter fraud or the accuracy of our elections. They are a naked power grab by American fascists who want the United States to never again have free and fair elections.

Have you noticed the media playing along with RFK Jr? MEDIA: “RFK Jr. is ‘shifting’ his views on vaccines.” Nonsense! He’s LYING about his position on vaccines & conspiracy theories in order to get confirmed. The media needs to stop sanitizing this dangerous man as if he’s a sane, rational human.
